Never Say Never

OK, so I'm the first to always say everything happens for a reason, and never say never, but this is ridiculous.  This cruise ship life never lets go, so for a mere 3 week period I'll be on the Coral Princess serenading my way through Alaska once again.  Sister ship to the Island, with the exact same itinerary, 3 out of 4 shows being the same, and certainly the food up in Horizon Court being the same, which is not a good thing.

I know you're all thinking "Here we go again!  Back to ship life!"  This was an unusual offer where a friend of mine had an exceptional job offer on land and decided to leave 3 weeks before the end of the contract.  Lucky for me, a flight to England is in our near future and 3 weeks at sea will help take care of the travel costs, so off I go.  An added bonus is my long time partner in crime and caramel covered, ham-in-toilet cramming friend Tom Delbello is currently on board the Coral, so this was a no brainer.  Tom and I were kicked out of many a pop class for goofing around, so wreaking havoc on a cruise ship for 3 weeks will be an added bonus to the paycheque. 

So, while I prematurely declared my retirement from ships, July 23rd will be my last day as an employee on a cruise ship.

I swear.

Until next time.
